As I'm vertically challenged (1.68 in socks, with some back wind), I'm thinking about lowering my bike slightly (maybe 15-20mm, just to make pushing it back from uphill parking a little easier).
The easy way would be of course to get the seat lowered (either shaving the stock or getting a new lower gel saddle) - but, as I'm also not happy with the stock suspension (front and rear) - I was thinking maybe to get something shorter for the rear (let's say 370mm eye-to-eye instead of the stock 390mm) and lowering the front on the triple tree by 15-20mm.
The questions I have regarding this are:
1. what will lowering the bike do to steering/tracking?
2. will I need to shorten the side stand?
Thanks,
